Chubb, E. C. A Skeleton of the Dodo {Didus ineptus.) (Annals 

 of the Durban Museum II, pp. 97-99 with plate.) — This specimen obtained 

 by the Durban Museum from the heirs of E. Therioux of Mauritius, is 

 more complete than any of the other known specimens, possesing the tail 

 bones intact. The other Dodo remains according to the author are: 

 four mounted skeletons in the museums of Cambridge, England, British 

 Museum, Paris and Mauritius; a foot and head at Oxford, England, being 

 remains of a mounted specimen destroyed by moths in 1755; a foot in 

 the British Museum and a head at Copenhagen. 



Longinas Navas, R. P. Birds of Aragon. (Revista de la Academia 

 de Ciencias exactas, fisicequinicas y naturales de Zaragoza, III, pp. 8- 

 69.) — The author's unique policy of changing the generic name to avoid 

 tautonymy instead of the specific as has usually been done by those who 

 refuse to use tautonymic names, results in some new generic names which 

 of course become synonyms viz: Melanopica (p. 15) for Corvus pica; 

 Pycnorhinus (p. 20) for Loxia coccothraustes and Ocelletus (p. 56) for 

 Motacilla regulus. [In Spanish.]
